If it's true, be prepared for a shit load of seats to be sent back for FIA ones.
I feel REALLY bad for guys who have been running these for a year or two and now have to replace their seats to keep racing.

This really won't affect as many people as its made out to sound like it will. Most people racing in a series that requires valid FIA vert aren't using this seat. Harness hole placement is terrible on the seat. People seriously into racing are using other seats or head restraint models.
I'll be the first to snag one for cheap if people start to offload them like crazy. I've owned 3 or 4 of these seats over the years and never felt unsafe.

It doesn't matter what series or event the sanctioning body is if you hit a wall / tree / barrier / rear end and crash...there is a structural flaw in the design in the seat.

From the sounds of the article, it's not going to be a severe safety issue even in the event of a crash or they would have issued a full recall. Most of these big name companies take recalls pretty seriously when it comes to safety issues. I wouldn't sweat it unless more info comes to light.
